A wonderful event at @Hopitaux_unige during @Opengeneva.
(Also ➡️and this is so cool it hurts⬅️ a preliminary conversation about a robot partnership already started with @HPE!)

Wondering why you need emergency translation that WORKS RIGHT EACH TIME? Many emergency medicine is based on a gut-level call by the doctor, and the details can be life or death.

Now remember that there are +40M migrants and displaced people according to @UNHCRInnovation ...

...have they each had time to learn the language of their place of haven? Would you have their children die because they should have learned faster?

That is emergency pediatric medicine. It cares about the hurt human...now.

@Hopitaux_unige ...

... @ITCnews ran a full day workshop on refugees/displaced people, and digital work. I judged the pitches, along with the Geneva Creativity Center (one of the founders of @opengeneva btw!)

Here is a digital project that can both employ refugee interpreters AND aid the community.

Did you know all the partners who were part of this? Hospice General. Medicin Sans Frontier. Right Here Right Now (VR & video). Robot connections via @ascaphe Even used some steampunk fashion from @EcolintGeneva LGB’s STEM Center. Even this baby behaved so well!⬇️

@threadreaderapp would you kindly unroll?

Remember to say thank you:)

🎀Did’ja know? You can also use @threadreaderapp to unroll ➡️other⬅️ people. Try it here on mine for interest (it’s a robot, it will be happy to help 🤖 :)

Just mention the handle and the magic word in one tweet. (And say “merci” if you like, too!)
